BFG
Technologies today announced their exit from the graphics card
category. The company will continue to sell their line of BFG Tech
power supplies as well as their Deimos gaming notebooks and Phobos
gaming systems.

"After
eight years of providing innovative, high-quality graphics cards to
the market, we regret to say that this category is no longer
profitable for us, although we will continue to evaluate it going
forward", said John Slevin, chairman of BFG Technologies. "We
will continue to provide our award-winning power supplies and gaming
systems, and are working on a few new products as well. I’d like to
stress that we will continue to provide RMA support for our current
graphics card warranty holders, as well as for all of our other
products such as power supplies, PCs and notebooks."

BFG will
continue to offer RMA, telephone and email support for qualified BFG
Tech graphics card warranty holders, but will no longer be bringing
new graphics card products to market.

I don't want to sound mean, so im just going to say i deal with a lot of cameras, both real and virtual. so with that being said I just wanted to say you are all speaking as if the screen ratio has anything to do with the field of view. think of aspect ratio as your cookie cutter of a larger image. Field of view is basically saying lens distortion, which I think your confusing with lens length. lens length is the stretch that can actually provide more viewable space, but at a lower rez in center most parts of the screen. back to the cookie cutter, take some cookie dough and mash it in there, and bake yourself a special cookie. then after that, place chocolate chunks over the entire surface, those are your pixels. well those are mass produced chunks and theyre all the same size. so if you have a 16:9 and a 16:10 monitor, the 16:10 will have more pixels because its closer to 1:1. lets work with low numbers, lets say your cell phone had 160x90 resolution screen, and your sega nomad (nice example) had a 160x160 rez screen, multiply those on ur handy dandy calculator and realize which one has more pixels. so lets put these two theories together, if you change the image size by shrinking your image in MS Paint and want to see more stuff around this shrunken image *bitmap raster 16 bit uncompressed bmp*, your camera length would have to become shorter and things further away will look even super duper further away. thats why those weird z-translate plus focal shifts look so funny, because the distance of things are changing to your brain but the location of objects arent actually changing in distance from one another. that being said, a shorter camera length is what allows you to see more around you, but you lose details in center frame(same in film but the physical size of film = screen resolution over in the digital world. so with that being said its all based on preference, which will probable reflect the different spacings in our physical eyes. For me personally 16:9 is best for gaming and 16:10 is better for working.*erroneous*
